Chapter 1 - System Description
Introducing BreezeACCESS VL
BreezeACCESS VL is a high capacity, IP services oriented Broadband
Wireless Access system. The system employs wireless packet switched
data technology to support high-speed IP services including fast
Internet and Virtual Private Networks. BreezeACCESS users are
provided with a network connection that is always on, supporting
immediate access to the Internet and other IP services at high data
rates. The system is designed for cellular-like deployment, enabling the
system architecture to vary in size and structure. A system can include
any number of cells, each containing several Access Units for better
coverage of densely populated areas.
The system supports Virtual LANs based on IEEE 802.1Q, enabling
secure operation and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services and
enabling tele-workers or remote offices to conveniently access their
enterprise network. The system supports layer-2 traffic prioritization
based on IEEE 802.1p and layer-3 traffic prioritization based on IP ToS
(RFC791).
BreezeACCESS VL products operate in unlicensed frequency bands in
Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode, using Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation with Forward Error Correction (FEC)
coding. Using the enhanced multi-path resistance capabilities of OFDM
modem technology, BreezeACCESS VL enables operation in near and
non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments. These qualities enable service
providers to reach a previously inaccessible and broader segment of the
subscriber population.
BreezeACCESS VL is designed to enable construction of “mixed” cells,
where it can be used together with other BreezeACCESS products using
GFSK modulation, including BreezeACCESS II, BreezeACCESS MMDS,
BreezeACCESS XL and BreezeACCESS V.
BreezeACCESS VL products are currently available in the following
frequency bands:

Subscriber Unit
The IDU provides the interface to the user’s equipment and is powered
from the 110/220 VAC mains. The customer's data equipment is
connected via a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ 45)
interface. The indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit via a
Category 5 Ethernet cable. This cable carries Ethernet traffic between
the indoor and the outdoor units, and also transfers power (54 VDC)
and control from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit.

Chapter 1 - System Description
Base Station Equipment
The Access Units, installed at the Base Station site, provide all the
functionality necessary to communicate with the Subscriber Units and
to connect to the backbone of the Service Provider.
There are 2 lines of Access Units with different architectures
! Modular Base Station Equipment
! Standalone “Micro-Cell” Access Unit
Modular Base Station Equipment
The Base Station Equipment is based on the BS-SH-VL 3U chassis,
which is suitable for installation in 19-inch racks. The chassis contains
one or two Power Supply modules and has 8 slots that can
accommodate BS-AU-VL Network Interface modules. These slots can
also accommodate various combinations of other modules, including
Network Interface (BS-AU) modules for Access Units operating in any of
the bands supported by BreezeACCESS equipment using GFSK
modulation, including BreezeACCESS II, BreezeACCESS MMDS,
BreezeACCESS XL and BreezeACCESS V. It can also accommodate a
BS-GU GPS and Alarms module to support GPS-based synchronization
of BreezeACCESS systems using Frequency Hopping radios.
Two different types of power supply modules are available for the
BreezeACCESS VL modules: The BS-PS-DC-VL that is powered from a
-48 VDC power source, and the BS-PS-AC-VL, powered from the
110/220 VAC mains. The optional use of two power supply modules
ensures fail-safe operation through power supply redundancy. When
the same chassis is used also for Access Unit modules belonging to
other BreezeACCESS families using GFSK modulation, then one BS-PSVL power supply (AC or DC) should be used to provide power to the
BreezeACCESS VL Access Units, and a different power supply module,
suitable for GFSK equipment, is required for powering the
BreezeACCESS GFSK Access Units.
Each BS-AU module, together with its outdoor AU-D/E-BS-ODU radio
unit and an antenna comprise an AU-D/E-BS Access Unit that serves a
single sector.
The AU-D/E-BS-ODU outdoor unit contains the processing and radio
modules and connects to an external antenna using a short RF cable.
E model units are supplied without an antenna.

The BS-AU indoor module connects to the network through a standard
IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ 45) interface. The indoor module
is connected to the outdoor unit via a Category 5 Ethernet cable. This
cable carries Ethernet traffic between the indoor module and the
outdoor unit, and also transfers power (54 VDC) and control from the
indoor module to the outdoor unit.
Manual Revision 1.0

Chapter 1 - System Description
Standalone “Micro-cell” Access Unit
The standalone AU-D/E-SA Access Unit is very similar to the
AU-D/E-BS unit. The AU-D/E-SA-ODU outdoor unit is very similar to
the AU-D/E-BS-ODU outdoor unit (identical functionality, but the units
are not interchangeable). The available antennas for D model units are
the same as those of the AU-D-BS Access Unit. The main difference is in
the structure of the indoor part; in the AU-D/E-SA Access Unit the
indoor unit is a standalone desktop or wall-mountable unit (the same
Universal IDU that is also used in the SU) rather than a 19” module.
The IDU connects to the network through a standard IEEE 802.3
Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ 45) interfaces and is powered from the
110/220 VAC mains. The indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit
via a Category 5 Ethernet cable. This cable carries Ethernet traffic
between the indoor and the outdoor units, and also transfers power
(54 VDC) and control from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit.
NOTE
The AU-D/E-SA-ODU and the AU-D/E-BS-ODU are not interchangeable:
The AU-D/E-SA-ODU cannot be used with the BS-AU; the AU-D/E-BS-ODU cannot be
used with the Universal IDU.

Networking Equipment
Networking Equipment
The Base Station equipment is connected to the backbone through
standard data communication and telecommunication equipment. The
10/100BaseT ports of the AU modules can be connected directly to a
multi-port router or to an Ethernet switch connected to a router.
The point-to-point link from the Base Station to the backbone can be
either wired or wireless. Data to the Internet is routed to the backbone
through standard routers.

Chapter 1 - System Description
Management Systems
The end-to-end IP-based architecture of the system enables full
management of all components, from any point in the system.
BreezeACCESS VL components can be managed using standard
management tools through SNMP agents that implement standard and
proprietary MIBs for remote setting of operational modes and
parameters. The same SNMP management tools can also be used to
manage other system components including switches, routers and
transmission equipment. Security features incorporated in
BreezeACCESS VL units restrict access for management purposes to
specific IP addresses and/or directions, which means from the Ethernet
and/or wireless link.
In addition, the Ethernet WAN can be used to connect to other
Operation Support Systems including servers, Customer Care systems
and AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Admission) tools.
BreezeCONFIG
The BreezeCONFIG for BreezeACCESS VL utility is an SNMP-based
application designed to manage BreezeACCESS VL system components
and upgrade unit software versions. The system administrator can use
the BreezeCONFIG utility to control a large number of units from a
single location. In addition, BreezeCONFIG enables you to load an
updated configuration file to multiple units simultaneously, thus
radically reducing the time spent on unit configuration maintenance.

installation of Outdoor Units or antennas.
Select the optimal locations for the equipment using the following
guidelines:
! The outdoor unit can be either pole or wall mounted. Its location
should enable easy access to the unit for installation and testing.
! The higher the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable
link quality.
! AU-ODU units should be installed as close as possible to the
antenna.
! The antenna connected to the AU-ODU unit, should be installed so
as to provide coverage to all Subscriber Units within its service area.
NOTE
The recommended minimum distance between any two antennas serving adjacent
sectors is 2 meters. The recommended minimum distance between two antennas
serving opposite cells (installed back-to-back) is 5 meters.
! The antenna of the SU (integrated on the front side of SU-A-ODU
and SU-A-H-ODU unit) should be installed to provide a direct, or
near line of sight with the Base Station antenna. The antenna
should be aligned to face the Base Station.
! The indoor equipment should be installed as close as possible to the
location where the indoor-to-outdoor cable enters the building. The
location of the indoor equipment should take into account its
connection to a power outlet and the CPE.
NOTE
The system complies with the ETS 300 491-1 standard and is protected against
secondary lightning strikes when the Outdoor Unit is properly grounded according to the

Aligning the Subscriber Unit Antenna
Aligning the Subscriber Unit Antenna
The SNR bar display is located on the bottom panel of the outdoor unit.
The ten LEDs are used for indicating the quality of the received signal.
The higher the number of green LEDs indicating On, the higher the
quality of the received signal. This section describes how to align the
Subscriber Unit antenna using the SNR bar display.
NOTE
Antenna alignment using the SNR bar display is possible only after the Subscriber Unit
is associated with an Access Unit. The associated Access Unit must be operational and
the basic Subscriber Unit parameters must be correctly configured. If not, the unit will
not be able to synchronize with the Access Unit. As the SNR measurement is performed
on received frames, its results are meaningless unless the Subscriber Unit is associated
with an Access Unit.
To align the Subscriber Unit antenna:
1. Align the antenna by pointing it in the general direction of the Base
Station.
2. Verify that the power indication of the unit is On.
3. Verify that the W-LINK LED of the ODU is On, indicating that the
unit is associated with an Access Unit. If the W-LINK LED is Off,
check that the ESSID and Frequency parameters are correctly
configured. If the SU is still not associated with the AU, increase the
transmit power level to its maximum value. If the unit is still not
associated with the AU, improve the quality of the link by changing
the direction of the antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher or
alternate location.
4. Rotate the antenna until the maximum SNR reading is achieved,
where at least 1 green LED is on: If you encounter prolonged
difficulty in illuminating the minimum required number of green
LEDs, try to improve the reception quality by placing the antenna at
a higher point or in an alternate location.
5. Ensure that the front of the antenna is always facing the Base
Station. However, in certain conditions, such as when the line of site
to the Base Station is hampered, better reception may be achieved
using a reflected signal. In this case, the antenna is not always
directed toward the Base Station.
Manual Revision 1.0
3-5
Chapter 3 - Commissioning
6. Secure the unit firmly to the pole.
NOTE
In some cases, the antenna may need to be tilted to ensure that the level at which the
SU receives transmissions from the AU (and vice versa) is not too high. As a rule of
thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the AU, it is
recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15°. To guarantee a safety
margin from the saturation level (received signal of -40dBm at the antenna port), the
SNR should not be higher than 50dB. The orange LED of the SNR bar indicates that the
SNR is higher than 50dB.
BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

Configuring the Subscriber Unit’s Maximum Modulation Level
Configuring the Subscriber Unit’s
Maximum Modulation Level
This section describes how to configure the maximum modulation level
for BreezeACCESS VL Subscriber Units.
NOTE
If the unit is associated with the AU, then the final configuration of the Maximum
Modulation Level parameter may be performed remotely, for example, from the site of
the AU or from another site.
To configure the Maximum Modulation Level:
1. If the SNR of the SU at the AU is too low, it is recommended that
you configure the Maximum Modulation Level parameter to a value
that is lower than the maximum supported by the unit. This can
decrease the number of retransmissions due to attempts to transmit
at modulation levels that are too high for the actual quality of the
link.
2. Check the SNR of the SU at the AU. You can use Telnet to view the
SNR values in the MAC Address Database, which can be accessed
from the Site Survey menu. If the ATPC algorithm is not enabled in
both AU and SU, the test should be done with the Initial Power Level
at the SU configured to its maximum value. If the SNR is lower than
the values required for the maximum modulation level according to
Table 3-2, it is recommended that you decrease the value of the
Maximum Modulation Level.
NOTE
The SNR measurement at the AU is accurate only when receiving transmissions from
the applicable SU. If necessary, use the Ping Test utility in the Site Survey menu to
verify data transmission.
3. Configure the Maximum Modulation Level according to Table 3-2,
using the typical SNR values. It is recommended that a 2 dB margin
be added to compensate for possible measurement inaccuracy or
variance in the quality of the link.

Menus and Parameters
Site Survey Menu
The Site Survey menu displays the results of various tests and counters
for verifying the quality of the wireless link. These tests can be used to
help determine where to position the units for optimal coverage,
antenna alignment and troubleshooting. The counters can serve for
evaluating performance and identify potential problems. In the AU,
there is also an extensive database for all SUs served by it.
The Site Survey menu includes the following options:
! Traffic Statistics
! Ping Test
! Continuous Link Quality display (SU only)
! MAC Address Database
! Per Modulation Level Counters
Traffic Statistics
The traffic statistics are used to monitor, interpret and analyze the
performance of the wired and wireless links. The counters display
statistics relating to wireless link and Ethernet frames. The Traffic
Statistics menu includes the following options:
! Display Counters: Select this option to display the current value of
the Ethernet and wireless link (WLAN) counters.
! Reset Counters: Select this option to reset the counters.
Ethernet Counters
The unit receives Ethernet frames from its Ethernet port and forwards
the frames to its internal bridge, which determines whether each frame
should be transmitted to the wireless media. Frames discarded by the
unit's hardware filter are not counted by the Ethernet counters. The
maximum length of a regular IEEE 802.1 Ethernet frame that can be
accepted from the Ethernet port is 1518 bytes. For tagged IEEE 802.1Q
frames the maximum size is 1522 bytes.
The unit transmits valid data frames received from the wireless media to
the Ethernet port, as well as internally generated frames, such as
responses to management queries and pings received via the Ethernet
port. The Ethernet Counters include the following statistics:
Manual Revision 1.0
4-27
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration
! Total received frames via Ethernet: The total number of frames
received from the Ethernet port. This counter includes both invalid
frames (with errors) and valid frames (without errors).
! Transmitted wireless to Ethernet: The number of frames
transmitted by the unit to the Ethernet port. These are generally
frames received from the wireless side, but also include frames
generated by the unit itself.
WLAN Counters
The unit submits data frames received from the Ethernet port to the
internal bridge, as well as self generated control and wireless
management frames. After a unicast data frame is transmitted, the unit
waits for an acknowledgement (ACK) message from the receiving unit.
Some control and wireless management frames, as well as broadcast
and multicast frames sent to more than one unit, are not acknowledged.
If an ACK is not received after a predefined time, which is determined by
the Maximum Cell distance parameter, the unit retransmits the frame
until an ACK is received. If an ACK is not received before the number of
retransmissions has reached a maximum predefined number, which is
determined by the Number of HW Retries and Number of SW Retries
parameters, the frame is dropped.
The Wireless Link Counters include the following statistics:
! Total transmitted frames to wireless: The number of frames
transmitted to the wireless media. The total includes one count for
each successfully transmitted unicast frame (excluding
retransmissions), and the number of transmitted multicast and
broadcast frames, including control and wireless management
frames. In the AU, there are also separate counters for the following:
Beacons (AU only)
Management and Other Data frames, including successfully
transmitted unicast frames and multicast/broadcast data
frames (excluding retransmissions, excluding Beacons in AU)
! Total Transmitted Unicasts (AU only): The number of unicast
frames successfully transmitted to the wireless media, excluding
retransmissions. This count is useful for calculating the rates of
retransmissions or dropped frames, since only unicast frames are
retransmitted if not acknowledged.
BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual
4-28
Menus and Parameters
! Total submitted frames (bridge): The total number of data frames
submitted to the internal bridge for transmission to the wireless
media. The count does not include control and wireless
management frames, or retransmissions. There are also separate
counts for each priority queue to which the frames were routed,
which are High, Mid and Low (currently the High queue is not used
for data frames).
! Frames dropped (too many retries): The number of dropped
frames, which are the frames unsuccessfully retransmitted until the
maximum permitted number of retransmissions without being
acknowledged. This count includes dropped data frames as well as
dropped control and wireless management frames.
! Total retransmitted frames: The total number of retransmissions,
including all unsuccessful transmissions and retransmissions.
! Total Tx events: The total number of transmit events. Typically,
transmission events include cases where transmission of a frame
was delayed or was aborted before completion. The following
additional counters are displayed to indicate the reason for and the
nature of the event:
Dropped: The number of dropped frames, which are the frames
unsuccessfully retransmitted until the maximum permitted
number of retransmissions without being acknowledged.
Delayed: The number of frames whose transmission was delayed
because they were in the queue for transmission when the SW
Retry mechanism was activated for a previous frame designated
to the same address. (refer to Adaptive Modulation Algorithm on
page 4-81 for more information)
Underrun: The number of times that transmission of a frame
was aborted because the rate of submitting frames for
transmission exceeds the available transmission capability.
Others: The number of frames whose transmission was not
completed or delayed due to a problem other than those
represented by the other counters.
! Total received frames from wireless: The total number of frames
received from the wireless media. The count includes data frames as
well as control and wireless management frames. The count does
not include bad frames and duplicate frames. For a description of
these frames, refer to Bad frames received and Duplicate frames
discarded below.
Manual Revision 1.0
4-29
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration
! Total received data frames: The total number of data data frames
received from the wireless media, including duplicate frames. Refer
to Duplicate frames discarded below.
! Total Rx events: The total number of frames that were not received
properly. The following additional counters are displayed to indicate
the reason for the failure:
Phy: Applicable only when DFS is enabled. The number of
unidentified signals.
CRC: The number of frames received from the wireless media
containing CRC errors.
Overrun: The number of frames that were discarded because the
receive rate exceeded the processing capability or the capacity of
the Ethernet port.
Decrypt: The number of frames that were not received properly
due to a problem in the data decryption mechanism.
! Bad fragments received: The number of fragments received from
the wireless media containing CRC errors.
! Duplicate frames discarded: The number of data frames discarded
because multiple copies were received. If an acknowledgement
message is not received by the originating unit, the same data frame
can be received more than once. Although duplicate frames are
included in all counters that include data frames, only the first copy
is forwarded to the Ethernet port.
! Internally discarded MIR\CIR: The number of data frames
received from the Ethernet port that were discarded by the MIR/CIR
mechanism to avoid exceeding the maximum permitted information
rate.

Air Interface Parameters
The Air Interface Parameters menu enables viewing the current Air
Interface parameters defined for the unit and configuring new values for
each of the relevant parameters.
Country Code and Sub Bands
Each country has its own regulations regarding operation modes and
parameters such as allowable frequencies and bandwidth, the need to
employ an automatic mechanism for detection and avoidance of
frequencies used by radar systems, maximum transmit power at each of
the supported modulation levels and the ability to use burst
transmissions. To efficiently manage these country dependent
parameters, each unit has a ‘Country Code’ parameter and a set of
accompanying parameters, which depend on this country code. Where
more than one set of parameters can be used, the available sets are
defined as Sub Bands, selectable through the Frequency configuration
menu.
ESSID Parameters
The ESSID (Extended Service Set ID) is a string used to identify a
wireless network and to prevent the unintentional merging of two
wireless networks or two sectors in the same network. Typically, a
different ESSID is defined for each AU. To facilitate easy addition of SUs
to an existing network without a prior knowledge of which specific AU
will serve it, and to support the Best AU feature, a secondary "global"
ESSID, namely "Operator ESSID", can be configured in the AU. If the
Operator ESSID Option is enabled at the AU, the Beacon frames
transmitted by it will include both the ESSID and Operator ESSID. The
SU shall regard such frames if either the ESSID or the Operator ESSID
matches it own ESSID. The ESSID of the AU with which the SU is
eventually associated is defined as the Run-Time ESSID of the SU.
Typically, the initial ESSID of the SU is configured to the value of the
Operator ESSID. Once the SU has become associated with a specific
AU, its ESSID can be reconfigured to the value of the ESSID of the AU.
ESSID
The ESSID parameter defines the ESSID of the unit.
Valid values: A string of up to 31 printable ASCII characters.
The default value is ESSID1.
BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

The default is Enable.
Operator ESSID
The Operator ESSID parameter defines the Operator ESSID.
Valid values: A string of up to 31 printable ASCII characters.
The default value is ESSID1.
NOTE
The Operator ESSID string is case sensitive.
Frequency Definition Parameters
The parameters that determine the frequency to be used are set in the
AU. The SU should be configured with a minimal set of parameters to
ensure that it will be able to automatically detect and use the frequency
used by the AU, including possible changes in this frequency.
To simplify the installation process the SU scans a definable frequencies
subset after power-up. If the Best AU feature is enabled, the SU will
scan the defined subset and the operating frequency will be determined
by the Best AU mechanism (including the optional use of the Preferred
AU feature). Otherwise the SU will try to associate with the first AU it
finds. If no AU is found, the SU will start another scanning cycle.
Each unit is delivered with one or more pre-configured Sub-Bands,
according to the country code. These sets of parameters include also the
frequencies that can be used and the bandwidth. If more than one SubBand is available, the sub-band to be used can be selected in both the
AU and the SU. If only one Sub-Band is supported, then the sub-band
selection option is not available.
Manual Revision 1.0
4-41
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration
In some regions, it is important to ensure that wireless access
equipment does not interfere with certain radar systems in the 5 GHz
band. In case radar is being detected, the wireless access network
should move automatically to a frequency that does not interfere with
the radar system.
The country dependent set of parameters includes also an indication
whether DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) should be used. The DFS
algorithm is designed to detect and avoid operation in channels with
radar activity. If the current sub-band does not support DFS, then the
DFS parameters configuration submenu is not available.
When the DFS Option is enabled, the AU monitors the spectrum
continuously, searching for signals with a specific pattern indication
radar activity. Upon detecting radar activity, the AU immediately stops
transmitting on this frequency and starts looking for another radar-free
frequency. The subset of viable frequencies is configurable.
The AU maintains a continuously updated database of all applicable
frequencies, where each frequency is marked as Radar Free, Radar
Detected or Adjacent to Radar. The AU attempts to check a new
frequency only if it is marked as Radar Free. If a radar activity was
detected on a certain frequency, it will be marked in the database as a
Radar Detected frequency. The AU will not attempt to check for radar
activity in frequencies marked as Radar Detected. A certain time after
detecting radar activity on a frequency, it will be removed from the list
of Radar Detected frequencies and will be marked as Radar Free. If
radar activity was detected on a certain frequency, adjacent channels
should not be used as well, according to the bandwidth. For instance, if
the bandwidth is 20 MHz, then if radar activity was detected in 5800
MHz, frequencies 5790 MHz and 5810 MHz should not be used as well.
These frequencies are marked in the database as Adjacent to Radar,
and will be treated the same as Radar Detected frequencies.
Before ceasing transmission on the frequency where radar signals had
been detected, the AU sends a special disassociation message to its
associated SUs. This message includes an indication whether the SUs
should wait for this AU. If the SUs should wait, the message includes
also the waiting time. During this time each SU searches for the AU in
the defined frequencies subset. If the AU was not found within the
waiting time, or if a waiting request was not included in the message,
the SU starts searching for any AU, using the Best AU mechanism if
applicable.

Best AU Parameters (SU)
An SU that can communicate with more than one AU using the same
ESSID may become associated with the first AU it "finds", not
necessarily the best choice in terms of quality of communication or
other factors such as number of SUs serviced by each AU. The same
limitation also exists if only one AU in the neighborhood has an ESSID
identical to the one used by the SU, since it is not always necessarily
the best choice.
The topology of a fixed access network is constantly changing. Changes
in base station deployment and subscriber density can accumulate to
create substantial changes in SU performance. The quest for load
sharing together with the desire to create best throughput conditions for
the SU created the need for the Best AU feature, to enable a SU to
connect to the best AU in its neighborhood.
When the Best AU feature is used, each of the AUs is given a quality
mark based on the level at which it is received by the SU. The SU scans
for a configured number of cycles, gathering information from all the
AUs it can communicate with. At the end of the scanning period, the SU
reaches a Best AU decision according to the information gathered. The
AU with the highest quality mark is selected as the Best AU, and the SU
will immediately try to associate with it. The quality mark given to each
AU depends on the level at which it is received by the SU.
The Best AU selection mechanism can be overridden by defining a
specific AU as the preferred AU.
NOTE
Although the SU selects the Best AU based on long-term conditions prior to the decision
time, it may not always be connected to the instantaneous Best AU at any given time.
Note also that the decision is done only once during the scanning interval. The decision
may not remain the optimal one for ever. If there are significant changes in deployment
of neighboring AUs and the SUs served by them, overall performance may be improved
if the applicable SUs are reset intentionally so as to re-initiate the Best AU decision
process.
The Best AU Parameters menu includes the following options:
Best AU Support
The Best AU Support option enables or disables the Best AU selection
feature.
The default is Disable.
NOTE
If the Best AU feature is not used, the SU associates with the first AU it finds whose
ESSID or Operator ESSID is identical to its own ESSID.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration
Number Of Scanning Attempts
When the Best AU option is enabled, the SU gathers information on
neighboring AUs for approximately 2 seconds on each of the scanned
frequencies. The Number of Scanning Attempts parameter defines the
number of times that the process will be repeated for all relevant
frequencies. A higher number may result in a better decision at the
cost of an increased scanning time during which the SU is not
operational.
Valid values: 1 - 255.
Default value: 4.
Preferred AU MAC Address
The Preferred AU MAC Address parameter defines a specific AU with
which the SU should associate. Gaining control of the SUs association
is a powerful tool in network management. The Preferred AU MAC
Address parameter is intended for applications where there is a need to
dictate the preferred AU with whom the SU should associate. To prevent
the SU from associating with the first viable AU it finds, the Best AU
Support mechanism should be enabled. Once the SU has identified the
preferred AU based on its MAC address, it will associate with it and
terminate the scanning process. If the preferred AU is not found, the SU
will associate with an AU according to the decision reached using the
best AU algorithm.
Valid values: A MAC address string.
The default value for the Preferred AU MAC Address is 00-00-00-00-0000 (12 zeros), meaning that there is no preferred AU.
Show Best AU Parameters and Data
The Show Best AU Parameters and Data option displays the applicable
information:
The Neighboring AU Data table displays for each AU that the unit can
communicate with the following details:
! MAC Address
! SNR of the received signal
! Mark - The computed quality mark for the AU.
BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual
4-48
Menus and Parameters
! Full - The association load status of the AU. It is defined as full if
the number of SUs associated with the AU has reached the
maximum allowed according to the value of the Maximum Number
of Associations parameter. An AU whose associations load status is
full cannot be selected as the Best AU, even if its' computed mark is
the highest.
! ESSID - The ESSID of the AU.
In addition to the neighboring AU data table, the following information
is displayed:
! Best AU Support
! Preferred AU MAC Address
! Number of Scanning Attempts
! Associated AU MAC Address (the MAC address of the selected AU)
Scanning Mode (SU only)
The Scanning Mode parameter defines whether the SU will use Passive
or Active scanning when searching for an AU.
In passive scanning, the SU “listens” to the wireless media for
approximately two seconds at each frequency, searching for beacons.
The disassociation period, which is the time from the moment the link
was lost until the SU decides that it should start searching for another
AU, is approximately seven seconds.
In some situations when there is a high probability that SUs might need
to roam among different AUs, the use of active scanning enables to
significantly reduce the link establishment time. This is achieved by
using shorter dwell periods, transmitting a Probe Request at each
frequency. This reduces the time spent at each frequency as well as the
disassociation period.
When DFS Option is enabled, Scanning Mode is forced to Passive.
The default selection is Passive.
Manual Revision 1.0

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration
Power Control Parameters
The Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) algorithm simplifies the
installation process and ensures optimal performance while minimizing
interference to other units. This is achieved by automatically adjusting
the power level transmitted by each SU according to the actual level at
which it is received by the AU. To support proper operation of the
system with optimal performance and minimum interference between
neighboring sectors, the ATPC algorithm should be enabled in all units.
The algorithm is controlled by the AU that calculates for each received
frame the average SNR at which it receives transmissions from the
specific SU. The average calculation takes into account the previous
calculated average, thus reducing the effect of short temporary changes
in link conditions. The weight of history (the previous value) in the
formula used for calculating the average SNR is determined by a
configurable parameter. In addition, the higher the time that has passed
since the last calculation, the lower the impact of history on the
calculated average. If the average SNR is not in the configured target
range, the AU transmits to the SU a power-up or a power-down
message. The target is that each SU will be received at an optimal level,
or as high (or low) as possible if the optimal range cannot be reached
because of specific link conditions.
Each time that the SU tries to associate with the AU (following either a
reset or loss of synchronization), it will initiate transmissions using its'
Transmit Power parameters. If after a certain time the SU does not
succeed to synchronize with the AU, it will start increasing the transmit
power level.
In an AU the maximum supported transmit power is typically used to
provide maximum coverage. However, there may be a need to decrease
the transmitted power level in order to support relatively small cells and
to minimize the interference with the operation of neighboring cells, or
for compliance with local regulatory requirements.
In some cases the maximum transmit power of the SU should be limited
to ensure compliance with applicable regulations or due to other
reasons.
Different power levels may be used for different modulation levels to
optimize performance taking into account the different modulation
schemes as well as possible regulatory restrictions.
BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual
4-50
Menus and Parameters
Transmit Power
The Transmit Power parameters are defined separately for different
modulation levels. Note that the supported modulation levels depend on
the Min modulation Level and Max Modulation Level defined for the
applicable Sub Band.
In the AU, the Transmit Power parameter defines the fixed transmit
power level and is not a part of the ATPC algorithm.
In the SU, The Initial Transmit Power parameter defines the fixed
transmit power level when the ATPC algorithm is disabled. If the ATPC
Option is enabled the value configured for this parameter serves for
setting the initial value to be used by the ATPC algorithm after either
power up or loosing synchronization with the AU.
The minimum value for the Transmit Power Parameters is -10 dBm.
(The ATPC may reduce the actual transmit power of the SU to lower
values). The maximum value of the Transmit Power Parameter depends
on several unit properties and parameters:
! The HW revision of the unit
! The modulation level
! The Maximum Allowed Tx Power as defined for the applicable Sub
Band.
! The Maximum EIRP as defined for the applicable Sub Band,
together with the value of the Antenna Gain. In certain countries the
Maximum EIRP of some equipment types cannot exceed a certain
value. In these cases the Transmit Power cannot exceed the value of
(Maximum EIRP – Antenna Gain).
! Maximum Tx Power parameter (in SU only)
For information on how to view the Sub Bands supported by the unit
and the supported parameters’ values and options, refer to Show
Country Dependent Parameters on page 4-9.
The unit calculates the maximum allowed Transmit Power according to
the unit properties and parameters listed above, and displays the
allowed range when a Transmit Power parameter is selected.
The default Transmit Power is the highest allowed value.
Maximum Tx Power (SU only)
The Maximum Tx Power parameter limits the maximum transmit power
that can be reached by the ATPC algorithm. It also sets the upper limits
for the Transmit Power parameters.

ATPC Minimum SNR Level
The Minimum SNR Level defines the lowest SNR at which you want
each SU to be received at the AU (the lower limit of the optimal
reception level range).
Available values: 4 to 60 (dB).
Default value: 28 (dB).
ATPC Delta from Minimum SNR Level
The Delta from Minimum SNR Level is used to define the highest SNR at
which you want each SU to be received at the AU (the higher limit of the
optimal reception level range):
BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual
4-52
Menus and Parameters
Max. Level=Minimum SNR Level + Delta from Minimum SNR Level.
Available values: 4 to 20 (dB) for units operating in the 5.2, 5.4 and 5.8
GHz bands. 11 to 20 (dB) for units operating in the 4.9 and 5.3 GHz
bands.
Default value: 4 (dB) for units operating in the 5.2, 5.4 and 5.8 GHz
bands. 11 (dB) for units operating in the 4.9 and 5.3 GHz bands.
Minimum Interval Between ATPC Messages
The Minimum Interval Between ATPC Messages parameter sets the
minimal time between consecutive power-up/power-down messages to a
specific SU. Setting a low value for this parameter may lead to a higher
overhead and an excessive rate of power level changes at the SUs. High
values for this parameter increase the time it will take until the SUs
reach optimal transmit power level.
Available values: 1 to 3600 seconds.
Default value: 30 seconds.
ATPC Power Level Step
The ATPC Power Level Step parameter defines the step size to be used
by the SUs for incrementing/decrementing the Current Transmit
Power after receiving a power-up/power-down message. If the distance
between the value of the Current Transmit Power and the desired
range is smaller than the step size, the power-up/power-down message
will include the specific step value required for this condition.
Valid range: 1-20 (dB)
Default value: 5 (dB)
ATPC Parameters in SU
ATPC Option
The ATPC Option enables or disables the Automatic Transmit Power
Control (ATPC) algorithm. The parameter takes effect immediately.
However, when changed from Enable to Disable, the transmit power
level shall remain at the last Current Transmit Power determined by the
ATPC algorithm before it was disabled. It will change to the value
configured for the Initial Transmit Power parameter only after the next
reset or following loss of synchronization.
The default is Enable.
Manual Revision 1.0

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration
Antenna Gain
The Antenna Gain parameter enables to define the net gain of a
detached antenna. The configured gain should take into account the
attenuation of the cable connecting the antenna to the unit. The
Antenna Gain is important especially in countries where there is a limit
on the EIRP allowed for the unit; the maximum allowed value for the
Transmit Power parameters cannot exceed the value of (EIRP- Antenna
Gain), where the EIRP is defined in the selected Sub Band.
In certain units with an integral antenna the Antenna Gain is not
available as a configurable parameter. However, it is available as a readonly parameter in the applicable “Show” menus.
The range is 0 – 50 (dB). A value of “Don’t Care” means that the actual
value is not important. A value of “Not Set Yet” means that the unit will
not transmit until the actual value (in the range 0 to 50) is configured.
The unit can be configured to “Don’t Care” or “Not Set Yet” only in
factory (when upgraded to SW version 2.0 from a lower version it will be
set automatically to one of these options). Once a value is configured, it
is not possible to reconfigure the unit to either “Don’t Care” or “Not Set
Yet”.
The default value depends on unit type. In SUs with integral antenna it
is set to 21 (read only). The default value for AUs that are supplied with
a detached antenna is in accordance with the antenna’s gain. In units
supplied without an antenna the default is typically “Not Set Yet”.
Cell Distance Parameters (AU only)
The higher the distance of an SU from the AU that is serving it, the
higher the time it takes for messages sent by one of them to reach the
other. To ensure appropriate services to all SUs regardless of their
distance from the AU while maintaining a high overall performance
level, two parameters should be adapted to the distances of SUs from
the serving AU:
! The time that a unit waits for a response message before
retransmission (acknowledge time delay) should take into account
the round trip propagation delay of the farthest SU. (the one-way
propagation delay at 5 GHz is 3.3 microsecond/km). The higher the
distance from the AU of the farthest SU served by it, the higher
should be the acknowledge time delay for all units in the cell.
BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual
4-54
Menus and Parameters
! To ensure fairness in the contention back-off algorithm between SUs
located at different distances from the AU, the size of the time slot
should also take into account the one-way propagation delay. The
size of the time slot of all units in the cell should be proportional to
the distance from the AU of the farthest SU served by it.
The distance from the AU of the farthest SU served by it can be
determined either manually or automatically. In manual mode, this
distance is configured manually. In automatic mode, the AU uses a
special algorithm to estimate its distance from each of the SUs it serves,
determine which SU is located the farthest and use the estimated
distance of the farthest SU as the maximum distance.
It should be noted that if the size of the time slot used by all units is
adapted to the distance of the farthest unit, than no unit will have an
advantage when competing for services. However, this reduces the
overall achievable throughput of the cell. In certain situations, the
operator may decide to improve the overall throughput by reducing the
slot size below the value required for full fairness. This means that
when there is competition for bandwidth, the back-off algorithm will
give advantage to SUs that are located closer to the AU.
The Cell Distance Parameters menu includes the following parameters:
Cell Distance Mode
The Cell Distance Mode option defines whether the maximum distance
of the AU from any of the SUs it serves will be determined manually
(using the Maximum Cell Distance parameter) or automatically.
The Options are Automatic or Manual.
The default is Automatic.
Maximum Cell Distance
The Maximum Cell Distance parameter allows configuring the
maximum distance when the Cell Distance Mode option is Manual.
The range is 0 to 54 (Km). The value of 0 has a special meaning for No
Compensation: Acknowledge Time Out is set to a value representing the
maximum distance of 54 km. The time slot size is set to its minimal
value of 9 microseconds.
The default is 0 (No Compensation).

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration
Fairness Factor
The Fairness Factor enables to define the level of fairness in providing
services to different SU. When set to 100%, all SUs have the same
probability of getting services when competing for bandwidth. If set to
X%, than SUs located up to X% of the maximum distance from the AU
will have advantage in getting services over SUs located farther than
this distance.
The range is 0 to 100 (%)
The default is 100 (%).

Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing (AIFS)
The time interval between two consecutive transmissions of frames is
called Inter-Frame Spacing (IFS). This is the time during which the unit
determines whether the medium is idle using the carrier sense
mechanism. The IFS depends on the type of the next frame to be
transmitted, as follows:
! SIFS (Short Inter-Frame Spacing) is used for certain frames that
should be transmitted immediately, such as ACK and CTS frames.
The value of SIFS is 16 microseconds.
! DIFS (Distributed coordination function Inter-Frame Spacing) is
typically used for other frame types when the medium is free. If the
unit decides that the medium is not free, it will defer transmission
by DIFS plus a number of time slots as determined by the
Contention Window back-off algorithm (see Minimum Contention
Window on page 4-77) after reaching a decision that the medium
has become free.
DIFS equal SIFS plus AIFS, where AIFS can be configured to one or two
time slots. Typically AIFS should be configured to two time slots. A
value of 1 should only be used in one of the two units in a point-topoint link, where in the other unit the AIFS remains configured to two
time slots. This ensures that the unit with AIFS configured to one has
an advantage over the other unit, provided that the Minimum
Contention Window parameter (see page 4-77) in both units is
configured to 0 to disable the contention window back-off algorithm.
BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual
4-56
Menus and Parameters
The available options are 1 or 2 (time slots).
The default is 2 time slots.
CAUTION
An AIFS value of 1 should only be used in point-to-point applications. Otherwise the
default value of 2 must always be used. In a point-to-point link, only one unit should be
configured to an AIFS value of 1. When both units need to transmit, the unit with an
AIFS value of 1 shall have an advantage over the unit with AIFS of 2. In this case, the
Minimum Contention Window parameter in both units must be configured to 0 to disable
the contention window back-off algorithm.
Maximum Number of Associations (AU only)
The Maximum Number of Associations parameter defines the maximum
number of Subscriber Units that can be associated with the selected
AU, while still guaranteeing the required quality of service to customers.
Available values range from 0 to 512.
Default value: 512.
NOTE
There is no aging time for SUs. An SU is only removed from the list of associated SUs
under the following conditions:
a. A SNAP frame is received from another AU indicating that the SU is now associated
with the other AU.
b. The SU failed to respond to a certain number of consecutive frames transmitted by
the AU and is considered to have "aged out".
Therefore, the database of associated SUs may include units no longer associated with
the AU. If the number of associated SUs has reached the value of the Maximum
Number of Associations parameter, the selected AU cannot serve additional SUs. To
view the current number of associated SUs, use the Display Association Info option in
the MAC Address Database menu. To delete inactive SUs from the database you must
reset the AU.
Wireless Link Trap Threshold (AU only)
The Wireless Link Trap Threshold parameter defines the threshold for
the wireless quality trap, indicating that the quality of the wireless link
has dropped below (on trap) or has increased above (off trap) the
specified threshold.
The Wireless Link Trap Threshold is in percentage of retransmissions,
and the allowed range is from 1 to 100 (%).
The default is 30 (%).

parameter is set to Access Link. It enables defining the VLAN ID for data
frames, which identifies the VLAN to which the unit belongs.
Valid values range from 1 to 4094.
Default value: 1.
The VLAN ID-Data affects frames received from the wireless link port, as
follows:
! Only tagged frames with a VLAN ID (VID) equal to the VLAN ID-Data
defined in the unit are forwarded to the Ethernet port.
! The tag headers are removed from the data frames received from the

Trunk Link transfers only tagged frames, since all devices connected to
the unit are VLAN aware: Only tagged data frames received on the
Ethernet or wireless link ports are forwarded.
CAUTION
It is not recommended that you configure a unit as a Trunk Link with the VLAN IDManagement parameter set at 65535, as it does not forward any 'NO VLAN'
management frames to its other port making it impossible to manage devices connected
behind the unit that are also configured with 'NO VLAN'.
If the VLAN Forwarding option is enabled, a data frame received with a
VLAN ID that is not a member of the unit's VLAN Forwarding List is
discarded.
NOTE
If the VLAN Forwarding option is enabled, be sure to include the VLAN IDManagement value of all units that should be managed via the wireless port of the unit,
in the Forwarding List.
If the VLAN Relaying option is enabled in an AU, a data frame relayed
with a VLAN ID that is not a member of the unit's VLAN Relaying List is
discarded.
NOTE
If the VLAN Relaying option is enabled and you manage your devices from behind an
SU unit, be sure to include the VLAN ID-Management value of all units to be managed
when relaying via the wireless port of the AU unit, in the Relaying List. If the VLAN
Forwarding option is also enabled in the AU, these VLAN IDs should also be included in

Menus and Parameters
VLAN Traffic Priority
Each packet to be transmitted to the wireless link is transferred to one
of three queues: Low, Mid and High. Packets in the High queue have the
highest priority for transmission, and those in the Low queue have the
lowest priority.
BreezeACCESS Subscriber and Access units support layer-2 traffic
prioritization according to the IEEE 802.1p standard. The priority field
in the 802.1Q header tag can have a value in the range 0 to 7. This
value determines the relative priority of the packet.
Packets received from the Ethernet port that have a priority higher than
the value of the VLAN Priority Threshold are routed to the Mid queue.
Since the system also supports layer 3 prioritization, based on ToS,
packets with precedence in the ToS field higher than the value of the
ToS Precedence Threshold parameter are also routed to the Mid queue.
This is applicable to both tagged and untagged frames.
All other packets received from the Ethernet port are routed to the Low
queue.
Control and wireless management frames generated in the unit are
routed to the High queue.
Any frame coming from the Ethernet port, which is meant to reach
another BreezeACCESS unit via the wireless port (as opposed to
messages intended for stations behind other BreezeACCESS units), is
sent to the High queue, regardless of the priority configuration.
NOTE
The prioritization mechanism is disabled when the traffic rate reaches the maximum
information rate supported by the SU.
The VLAN Traffic Priority menu includes the following parameters:
! VLAN Priority – Data (SU only)
! VLAN Priority – Management
! VLAN Priority Threshold
VLAN Priority - Data (SU only)
The VLAN Priority - Data is applicable for Access Links only. It enables
configuring the value of the VLAN Priority field for data frames
transmitted to the wireless link. All data frames are routed to the Low
queue. This parameter only impacts the way that other VLAN aware
devices handle the packet.
Manual Revision 1.0
4-69
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration
Valid values range from 0 to 7.
The default value is 0.
NOTE
Packets Received from the Ethernet port with a ToS Precedence value higher than the
defined ToS Precedence Threshold are routed to the Mid queue.
VLAN Priority - Management
The VLAN Priority - Management enables defining the value of the VLAN
Priority field for management frames in units with VLAN ID
Management that is other than 65535. All management frames are
routed to the High queue. This parameter only impacts the way other
VLAN aware devices handle the packet.
Valid values range from 0 to 7.
The default value is 4 for SUs and 0 for AUs.
VLAN Priority Threshold
The VLAN Priority Threshold is applicable for Trunk and Hybrid Links
only. It enables defining the value of the VLAN Priority Threshold. This
parameter impacts the way the unit handles tagged packets received
from the Ethernet port.
Since the system supports both layer 2 and layer 3 prioritization, a
frame is routed to the Mid queue if either of the following conditions are
met:
! The precedence in the ToS field is higher than the value of the ToS
Precedence Threshold parameter. This is applicable to both tagged
and untagged frames.
! The VLAN Priority field in a tagged frame is higher than the value of
the VLAN Priority Threshold parameter.

The default value is 3.
NOTE
The prioritization mechanism is disabled when the traffic rate reaches the maximum
information rate supported by the SU.
Ethernet Broadcast Filtering (SU only)
The Ethernet Broadcast Filtering menu enables defining the layer 2
(Ethernet) broadcast and multicast filtering capabilities for the selected
SU. Filtering the Ethernet broadcasts enhances the security of the
system and saves bandwidth on the wireless media by blocking
protocols that are typically used in the customer's LAN but are not
relevant for other customers, such as NetBios, which is used by the
Microsoft Network Neighborhood. Enabling this feature blocks Ethernet
broadcasts and multicasts by setting the I/G bit at the destination
address to 1. This feature should not be enabled when there is a router
behind the SU.

Menus and Parameters
Roaming Option (SU only)
The Roaming Option defines the roaming support of the unit. When
roaming is not expected, it is preferable to set this parameter to Disable.
This will cause the unit to start scanning for another AU after loosing
connectivity with the current AU only after 7 seconds during which no
beacons were received from the current AU. This will prevent scanning
for another AU in cases where no beacons were received due to a short
temporary problem.
When set to Enable, the SU will wait only one second before it starts
scanning for another AU. In addition, when the Roaming Option is
enabled, the SU will send Roaming SNAP messages upon associating
with a new AU. This enables fast distribution of the new location for all
clients that are behind the SU. In this case, the SU will send multicast
SNAP messages via the wireless link each time it associates with a new
AU, except for the first association after reset. The SU will send one
SNAP message for each client learned on its Ethernet port, based on its
bridging table. In the SNAP message the clients’ MAC address is used as
the source address. The AU that receives this SNAP message learns
from it the new location of the clients. It forwards the SNAP to other
AUs and Layer-2 networking equipment via its Ethernet port, to
facilitate uninterrupted connectivity and correct routing of
transmissions to these clients. The new AU as well as the previous AU
with which the SU was associated, will forward the SNAP messages to
all other SUs associated with them.
The default is Disable.

Performance Parameters
The Performance Parameters menu enables defining a series of
parameters that control the method by which traffic is transmitted
through the BreezeACCESS VL wireless access network.
The Performance Parameters menu includes the following parameters:
! RTS Threshold
! Minimum Contention Window
! Maximum Contention Window
! Multicast Modulation Level (AU only)
! Maximum Modulation Level
! Average SNR Memory Factor
! Number of HW Retries
! Burst Mode
! Adaptive Modulation Algorithm
RTS Threshold
The RTS Threshold parameter defines the minimum frame size that
requires an RTS/CTS (Request To Send/Clear To Send) handshake.
Frames whose size is smaller than the RTS Threshold value are
transmitted directly to the wireless link without being preceded with
RTS frames. Setting this parameter to a value larger than the maximum
frame size eliminates the RTS/CTS handshake for frames transmitted
by this unit.
The available values range from 20 to 1600 bytes.
The default value is 60 bytes for SUs and 1600 for AUs. It is
recommended that these values be used to ensure that RTS/CTS is
never used in the AU.
BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual
4-76
Menus and Parameters
Minimum Contention Window
The Minimum Contention Window parameter determines the time that a
unit waits from the time it has concluded that there are no detectable
transmissions by other units until it attempts to transmit. The
BreezeACCESS VL system uses a special mechanism based on detecting
the presence of a carrier signal and analyzing the information contained
in the transmissions of the AU to estimate the activity of other SUs
served by the AU. The target is to minimize collisions in the wireless
media resulting from attempts of more than one unit to transmit at the
same time.
The system uses an exponential Back-off algorithm to resolve
contention between several units that want to access the wireless
media. The method requires each station to choose a random number N
between 0 and a given number C each time it wants to access the
media. The unit will attempt to access the media only after a time equal
to DIFS (for more details refer to Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing on
page 4-56) plus N time slots, always checking if a different unit has
accessed the media before. Each time the unit tried to transmit and a
collision happened; the maximum number C used for the random
number selection will be increased to the next available value. The
available values are 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511 and 1023.
The Minimum Contention Window parameter is the first maximum
number C used in the back-off algorithm. The higher the number of SUs
served by the same AU, the higher the Minimum Contention Window for
each SU should be.
The available values are 0, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511 and 1023. A
value of 0 means that the contention window algorithm is not used and
that the unit will attempt to access the media immediately after a time
equal to DIFS.
The default value is 15.
CAUTION
A value of 0 disables the contention window back-off algorithm. It should only be used in
point-to-point applications. For more details on configuring units in a point-to-point link
refer to Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing on page 4-56.
Manual Revision 1.0
4-77
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration
Maximum Contention Window
The Maximum Contention Window parameter defines the upper limit for
the maximum number C used in the back-off algorithm as described in
Minimum Contention Window above.
The available values are 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511 and 1023.
The default value is 1023.
Multicast Modulation Level (AU only)
The Multicast Modulation Level parameter defines the modulation level
used for transmitting multicast and broadcast data frames. Multicast
and broadcast transmissions are not acknowledged; therefore if a
multicast or broadcast transmission is not properly received there is no
possibility of retransmitting. It is recommended that you set a lower
modulation level for broadcast and multicast frame transmissions to
increase the probability that they are received without errors.
The Multicast Modulation Level parameter is applicable only to data
frames. Beacons and other wireless management and control frames are
always transmitted at the lowest modulation level according to the Sub
Band.
The minimum value for the Multicast Modulation Level is defined by the
Sub Band in use.
The maximum value for the Multicast Modulation Level is defined by the
Sub Band in use and the HW revision of the unit. Units with HW
revision A support a maximum value of 7, while units with HW revision
B and higher support a maximum value of 8.
For information on how to view the Sub Bands supported by the unit
and the supported parameters’ values and options, refer to Show
Country Dependent Parameters on page 4-9.
The default value is the lowest supported modulation level.
BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual
4-78
Menus and Parameters
Maximum Modulation Level
When the Adaptive Modulation Algorithm (see Adaptive Modulation
Algorithm on page 4-81) is enabled, it changes the modulation level
dynamically according to link conditions. The purpose is to increase the
probability of using the maximum possible modulation level at any
given moment. Although the algorithm will avoid using modulation
levels that are too high for the prevailing link conditions, it might be
desired under certain conditions to limit the use of higher modulation
levels. If the link quality is not sufficient, it is recommended that the
maximum modulation level be decreased, since higher modulation
levels increase the error rate. In such conditions, a higher Maximum
Modulation Level increases the number or retransmissions before the
modulation level is being reduced by the Adaptive Modulation
Algorithm. A high number of retransmissions reduces the overall
throughput of the applicable SU as well as all other SUs associated with
the same AU.
The link quality can be estimated based on the SNR measurement of the
SU at the AU, which can be viewed in the MAC Address Database option
in the Site Survey menu. If the measured SNR is less than a certain
threshold, it is recommended that the maximum modulation level of the
SU be decreased in accordance with Table 4-9, using the values of
typical sensitivity. It is recommended to add a 2 dB safety margin to
compensate for possible measurement inaccuracy or variance in the
link quality.
NOTE
The SNR measurement at the AU is accurate only when receiving transmissions from
the applicable SU. If necessary, use the Ping Test utility in the Site Survey menu to
verify data transmission.
When the Adaptive Modulation Algorithm is disabled, this parameter
will serve to determine Fixed Modulation Level used for transmissions.
The minimum value for the Maximum Modulation Level is defined by
the Sub Band in use.
The maximum value for the Maximum Modulation Level is defined by
the Sub Band in use and the HW revision of the unit. Units with HW
revision A support a maximum value of 7, while units with HW revision
B and higher support a maximum value of 8.
For information on how to view the Sub Bands supported by the unit
and the supported parameters’ values and options, refer to Show
Country Dependent Parameters on page 4-9.
The default is the highest supported Modulation Level.

Appendix B - File Download and Upload Using TFTP
The BreezeACCESS VL File Download/Upload feature simplifies the
task of remotely configuring a large number of units using TFTP
protocol. By downloading the configuration file to a PC it is possible to
view all the parameters configured for the unit, as a plain ASCII text file.
It is necessary to edit the file using a simple editor and remove certain
parameters or change their values prior to uploading the configuration
to another unit. The file loading procedure can also be used for
uploading a feature license file or an updated country code file to
multiple units.
When multiple configurations are being done simultaneously, which
means that the file is being uploaded to several units, it is
recommended that the file will include only the required parameters.
In the configuration file, the following three fields represent each
parameter:
1. A symbolic string similar to the name of the parameter in the
Monitor program, followed by "=".
2. The value of the parameters, which uses the same values as the
Monitor program.
3. An optional comment. If used, the comment should start with a ";"
character.
An unknown parameter will be ignored. A known parameter with a
value that is invalid or out of range will be set by the unit to its default
value.
Use the SNMP write community string (the default is “private”) to define
both the uploaded file (put) and the downloaded file (get). The file
should be transferred in ASCII mode.
Use the extension cfg for a configuration file.
Use the extension cmr for the Operator Defaults file.
Use the extension fln for a Feature License file.
Use the extension ccf for a Country Code file.
Feature license and country code files include multiple strings, where
each string is applicable only for a certain unit identified by its MAC
address. When uploading a feature license or a country code file to
multiple units, each unit will accept only the parts that are applicable
for itself.

Menus and Parameters
Use a crimp tool for RJ-45 connectors to prepare the wires, insert them
into the appropriate pins and use the crimp tool to crimp the connector.
Make sure to do the following:
1. Remove as small a length as possible of the external jacket. Verify
that the external jacket is well inside the service box to ensure good
sealing.
2. Take back the shield drain wire before inserting the cable into the
RJ-45 connector, to ensure a good connection with the connector's
shield after crimping.
